On 1/20/24, #Chicago ratified a 3-year contract with #SecondCity leadership. After 2 full years of bargaining, this chapter is finally closed. This would not have happened without the support of our students, peers, and the general public. THANK YOU. Unions work. @iftaft #improv

While this is only a first step, there is still much to highlight: immediate pay increase for most faculty/music directors, increases for SecondCityWorks facilitators, backpay for 2023, bonuses tied to enrollment, guaranteed increases for years 2 & 3 of the contract... @iftaft

This is because of YOU! After a marathon 11-hour (and 11th-hour) bargaining session with #TheSecondCity leadership, we have an agreement! We appreciate SC leadership returning to the table, and seeing this through. And it would not have happened without the support of our allies!

AICE members still need to vote on and ratify the contract, the process of which will be organized very soon, but for now the #strike is officially suspended! Unions work. #improv #improvisation #sketch #comedy #chicago #toronto #hollywood #newyorkcity @iftaft

“We’re 95% of the way there. They just have to meet to work out the 5 percent, and there’s some big gaps in the outstanding issues,” @AICEunion member Corey Bradberry said. Second City teachers set deadline for strike that could halt shows there

If picketing begins Tuesday, ‘it’s extremely possible’ that actors and stage managers could refuse to cross the line, says a spokesman for their union.

This is why it’s taken over 700 days to get here. This is why we’re going on strike: #TheSecondCity leadership refuses to acknowledge reality. Why? Is it because their job is to report profits to the private equity board, and people aren’t considered profits? @iftaft

#SC CEO Ed Wells is fibbing in the press: “31% raise over the agreement’s 3-year term”, when he should say “31% more pay, from a substandard rate, over NINE years: 3 years of the contract plus 6 years of frozen teacher pay since 2018.” Takes the shine off the rose, doesn’t it?

6 days until we go on strike at #TheSecondCity #Chicago. SC leadership should return to the bargaining table, and agree to a fair first contract. An FAQ page is available at https://t.co/nuZlMAN6yP. You can submit your strike-related questions and read our answers. @iftaft

The countdown has begun. This strike is easily avoidable, and has been easily avoidable for over 700 days. It's never too late to do the right thing, Upper Management. @iftaft #CorporateGreed #WorkersRights #Chicago #Toronto #NewYork #TheSecondCity https://t.co/3bqgqJunyS
